It was only a week away but just what the doctor ordered and a nice surprise as my new set of irons were waiting for me when I returned. Even though I am surrounded by new clubs every day it's still exciting to get a new set, I have gone for a combo set with TaylorMade - I have an SLDR 3 iron, 4-6 in the MC and 7-PW in the MB blades all in the same spec. Sets like this are available to anyone through custom fit and this way you can get a set that fits your eye and your game.

I have a great deal for you with a SALE on TaylorMade JetSpeed, the drivers are £50 OFF at £149, the fairways are £119 and the rescues are £99 - well worth a demo! The ladies and gents sets of Burner OS were snapped up in the week, so this week's bargain iron set are a set of Snake Eyes graphite's now HALF PRICE, down to £149 from £299!
This week's video is the basics of playing a good lob shot, if ever you want to spend an hour on the course doing this with one of us it could take a fair few shots off your score!
As some of you have noticed there is a disease in some of the greens. Matt, the head green keeper, told me about 3 weeks ago he spotted a disease called anthrax nose, he is on top of the situation with various spays and treatments but in this outdoor environment where the spoors are moved by anything from feet to buggies and animals, and such like it's an evolving situation. Matt and his team will respond to each outbreak, it's no big problem he tells me, just one of those things you react to and cure.
